"A piercing story of a girl who responds to trauma by mustering the most powerful weapon available to her: silence. (...) melodic, mythological, transformative, a testament to literature’s powers..." Vanity Fair Ellen has stopped talking. She thinks she may have killed her dad. Her brother’s barricaded himself in his room. Their mother, a successful actress, carries on as normal. We’re a family of light! she insists. But darkness seeps in everywhere and in their separate worlds each of them longs for togetherness.
This dark pearl of a book was easily one of the most memorable I’ve read this year. “Welcome to America” is an imaginative portrait of a young girl who has stopped talking. The narrative is minimalistic, but the author’s clear, imagistic prose thrums with emotion, generating its own tension.Highly recommended: It will work its way under your skin.
